munroskh Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Apart from their rip off prices, Union flag signage proclaiming their pride in serving Britain for 165 years, and tired stores, they have voted to continue giving almost £1 million a year to Labour, they ain't getting a penny from me in future! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32762858 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Better than campaigning for losers i suppose. Wait aren't you an Arab (like my brother) that's hardly campaigning for success, although you did move across the globe so maybe you have a point.

Scunnered Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Although it is illuminating that you've pointed out that the reason you backed a party with little redistributive policy, and by little I mean hee haw, is a bit of old fashioned glory hunting. You are quite literally the hün of politics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefaetheferry Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not a big fan of boycotting. The only losers are the staff who work there. By all means voice your displeasure at the political contributions of the companies as entities, but not a boycott for me. Unless of course a company sponsors Celtic or the huuns, then they are fair game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wibble Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Does John Lewis not have a similar ethos as regards Employee Ownership as the Co-Op? There are similarities, however... every member of the Co-op, is a shareholder, with equal voting rights. That includes customers, suppliers and even the heid bummers at the top of the pile, as long as they have the requisite £1 share. John Lewis's staff are 'partners', and it was only in 2001, while there was a Labour government, that JL stopped game-shooting trips for their 'partners', so its ethos is flawed IMHO. And within JL, not everyone is equal... where's Orwell when you need him - Oink! If you want true owner/worker deal, try these guys: http://www.freibergs.com/resources/articles/leadership/semco-insanity-that-works/ and this from Brazil. I particularly like the expression: 'When no one is in charge - everyone is responsible.' Edited May 19, 2015 by Wibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
